3 Overview

The unique SP-10D is a multi-standard/multi-format broadcast quality
video processor – ProcAmp, TBC, format converter (for mixing different
types of equipment), and standards converter. It is a universal single-box
solution for all your video processing requirements.

In particular, the SP-10D Digital Video Processor includes the following:

• Inputs: composite video, s-Video, component video (YUV or RGB/S),

and genlock

• Outputs

1

: composite video, s-Video, component video (YUV, RGsB,

RGBS, RGBHV), “before/after” split-screen, and genlock loop

• Video Standards

2

: PAL-B/D/G/H/I/M/N, NTSC-3.58/4.43, SECAM

• ProcAmp functions: video gain, brightness, contrast, color, hue, and

sharpness (independent H and V)

• A full range of color control features in both YUV and RGB color

spaces

3

• Four-field memory for the highest picture quality
• Timing: genlocked to an external video reference with control of

H-delay and SCH phase. Alternatively, the unit can synthesize its own
timing to provide a full time-base-corrected (TBC) output

• Individual H and V Chroma – Luma delay

In addition, the SP-10D Digital Video Processor includes:

• 16 non-volatile memory setups that are available for saving the settings
• Power-down save, picture freeze, and a screen splitter that provides

simultaneous "before and after" image comparison on one monitor

• Full 10-bit digital processing throughout, for the highest possible video

quality

Control the SP-10D:

• Using the front panel buttons and the 7-segment display
• Remotely, by RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen

system, PC, or other serial controller

2 The SP-10D can be used for conversion to any video standard. When transcoding between NTSC and PAL/SECAM, the

SP-10D uses a unique adaptive processing algorithm, which produces a high quality slow-motion picture, without blurred

dynamic parts (something that commonly confuses many high-grade transcoders). The SP-10D processes "slow" scenes using

four TV fields, and portions of "fast" scenes using two TV fields. The SP-10D combines both methods for each TV frame

3 RGB and YUV inputs, RGB and YUV outputs, and independent control of RED, GREEN and BLUE; and Y, R-Y and B-Y
